That's certainly what's supposed to happen, but I've seen cases where
things get really good and confused (e.g. the tape server restarts or
bad networking problems happen) and they stay around because they don't
realize the other end of the connection has died. As you discovered,
this then causes timeouts on the next runs, and your solution of killing
them is the proper approach.
